Got some candles in, guess it won’t be long before the electric is out due to everyone being at home. The grid won’t be able to cope with all those kettles being turned on at the same time! At least the traffic is quiet, been able to drive around without much fuss.
I think it will dip in the summer, towards the end of June, and come back in November, in the way that usual seasonal flu does. I think it will be around forever, but become less severe over time, as immunity builds up.

Can't see what the fuss is about. It's not took out hardly anywhere near enough people to save the planet ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

Just been sent to a food factory in Newark to repair a PC, there was no social distancing at all. Had to sit next to a few people while they were doing the induction / risk assessment / Permit to work. Took almost 2 hours before I even saw the PC I was there to fix. At the end of it wrong part had been sent (a serial port had been sent when it was their printer's parallel port that had been damaged!).

So there's going to be an announcement tonight, to be honest it won't make any difference to me if we stay in lock-down or not really. Then only problem is having the kids at home. Cheryls not liking working from home either. For me things havn't really changed. The jobs I've been on there's not been any social distancing or PPE so lock-down has been pontless for us. I would sooner things get back to normal and old people / people with things wrong with them stay at home if they are worried. We have given the government the three weeks they wanted to sort out the lack of preparation in the NHS so I can't see why we shouldn't just crack on?

Why is their no containment strategy in place like you see in films - someone gets the virus a team in hazmat suits move in and quarantine it. Stuff like that should be happening in my opinion.

masks stop you spitting on people when you breath / speak / sneeze etc, they do not prevent pathogens from being inhaled as their is no airtight seal. The masks are to protect other people and not to stop you from catching anything.

I’ve paid no attention to all the rules regarding this corona stuff. I don’t even bother sanitising my hands etc like your supposed to, been all over the country every day with work sat next to different people every day etc. Over a year has passed myself and my family are still alive so thinking I’m lucky or immune or it’s just a load of bollocks? Call me irresponsible or selfish but if your bothered wear your PPE masks, satanise your hands stay home. I just want to get back to the pub ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Probably catch it tomorrow after writing this lol

Good news today Boris saying Covid is over and everything back to normal (not that anything has been different for us apart from Chez working from home). Just a shame no mention of climate change - all done for soon as already past the point of no return ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)
